For those of you just joining us, you can see all of the past assignments in our Challenge Archive. No pressure to complete them all, but many of you have asked, so here you go!

Ten years ago, I was a teenager full of unbridled creativity. I spent my time doodling on notebooks during class, painting canvases in my room, and awkwardly trying to teach myself Adobe Photoshop (CS3 on a white plastic Macbook, anyone?).

I was a junior in high school with dreams of turning drawing into a career...but not a lot of confidence in those dreams.

This led me to study advertising (a seemingly more practical career path) instead…

which led me to getting a job at a big ad agency...

which led me to completely burning out from work within a year.

Luckily, my creativity never stopped running in the background. I stumbled across lettering during my sophomore year of college and fell in love with it...

Make sure to complete and post your work before the next challenge comes out if you want a chance to be featured in my Story. Tagging me and @AdobeDrawing will help to ensure that we don't miss your work :)

I hope this challenge gives you time to reflect on how much you’ve learned in your lifetime so far (and also gets you excited about what’s yet to come).
